Although, the…read moreparking lots are often full on weekends, so I up leaving leaving and going to another market. I think that their items are a little more pricey than most things around the area as well. However, I would shop here because of the free parking when there is space. it's conveniently one block away from the train station. It's also usually very organized And easy to fine things. However there are always lines at the cash register when I visit.

After many years of masquerading as a Hong Kong Supermarket…read more(http://www.yelp.com/biz/hong-kong-supermarket-of-brooklyn-brooklyn), the name change to the more simple, albeit more boring "New York Mart" signals a new era for this long standing Asian grocery spot. For starters, it's cleaner. Much cleaner than it's predecessor. Labels have more English than before (#1) and dare I say the produce section has been beefed up slightly. The shopping experience has definitely been made easier, but that's not to say that the prices and selection are better. Nearby markets that are bigger still have the upper edge. The staff might be different in looks but the same with interaction, which is generally not helpful. Especially when the weekend crowds roll in, it might be easier to shout along with the employees in trying to find what you need. (#2) Thank goodness for the spaced out aisles and multi-language labeling, or this might actually be a reality. _______ (#1) Not that this neighborhood needs it. (#2) In Chinese. Fukinese, preferably.

It is a very good greengrocer, however. The best one for blocks around. Selection of Asian produce is great, and prices are low. If you need some mushrooms, eggplant, long beans, bitter melon and the like this market is a good choice. Before I bothered to remember the name I just thought of it as the good produce market. If I'm not of a mind to make the trip to the giant supermarket I'm shopping here.

Food: This is my favorite market in Brooklyn! All of their food is fresh and good quality. As soon…read moreas you enter the store, there is a section of roasted meats, some hanging in the window and some in large trays at the counter. They sell whole soy sauce chickens, whole ginger scallion chickens, roast pork, roast pig, honey BBQ chicken wings, roasted duck, tripe, cuttlefish, beef brisket, and beef tendon. Their roasted meats are excellent here and some of the best I've had in NYC. Next to the roasted meats is a section of prepared foods with numerous types of cooked dishes including honey walnut shrimp with broccoli, fried fish, pan fried shrimp, sweet and sour pork, braised pork belly, braised duck wings, noodles, congee, soups, vegetables, dumplings, fried chicken wings, pork chops, and so much more. They also sell 粽子 and fresh rice noodles. The prepared foods are very convenient if you don't feel like cooking. They also sell white rice by the box but often run out by the afternoon. In their meat department, they have all cuts of chicken, pork, and beef. Staff working behind the counter help you get the cuts you want, weight it, and add a sticker with the price. They also have marinated meats and other prepared raw items such as fish paste, marinated beef ribs, marinated pork chops, etc. The selection is huge! In their refrigerated section, there are more cuts of meats, fresh vegetables, packaged items such as noodles, dumpling wrappers, and fishballs. They have a section with frozen dumplings and also meats for hot pot. This is a great place to get all your groceries for the week. Service: The staff are very friendly and helpful here, particularly the store manager, Eddy. My family and I shop here regularly (sometimes a few times a week), and everyone there is always very welcoming and provides wonderful customer service. They let us know about new products and also take the time to give useful cooking tips based on what we're purchasing. The staff make it very pleasant to shop there! Ambiance: The store is very bright and clean, unlike many other markets in the area. Although the store is not big, everything is well organized and kept neat so it's easy to shop in there. Overall, I would highly recommend this food market!

Super cute small local business that sells "homemade" Korean kimchi with a small weekly menu…read more It is located in a cross section of Bay Ridge Avenue and Colonial Road next to a pizzeria. They specialize in a variety of jarred kimchi that you normally see in grocery stores. The price per jar is anywhere between $10-$15. They also have a weekly (changing) menu offering Korean homemade soups and lunch. I got a pork kimchi ($13 after taxes) and it was delicious. This brought up so much childhood memories of a time when my dad worked at a local Cheung Fun place in Chinatown. You feel something inside that you don't normally get when you go to a crowded / fancier restaurant. It feels like "home" in a sense. I love a small business like Kimchi Kooks Kate's Kitchen because it adds characters to the local business. :) The staff are friendly and because there is an open kitchen, you can see them make your food. Although no seating, you can always grab the food and get a slice of pizza next door and have a meal at the pizzeria's outdoor seating. :)

This was such a cute little gem tucked away on the quieter end of Bay Ridge Ave. I love that it's a…read morefamily-owned small business, and that they have (limited) hot options as well as packaged kimchi and banchan, along with some home goods and instant ramyun. I picked up a small jar of their classic white kimchi ($8.32), which I was so excited to try because white kimchi is traditionally made with pine nuts and it's difficult to find a nut-free version at supermarkets. I thought the kimchi had a pleasant tang, though it was a little savorier than I expected. The variety of banchan was also excellent-- I counted 21 different dishes as well as 4 different types of sauces. I picked up a miyeok and dubu muchim ($8.32) which was a seaweed salad tossed with firm tofu crumbles. I intended to eat it for dinner, but I finished the whole container before I got home because it was so addictive and delicious. If you have any questions, a staff member is at hand but everything is neatly labeled with an explanation of ingredients. Their kitchen is open on Wed-Sun so I'd love to return to try a weekend special, which rotates on a weekly basis. Kimchi Kooks is located a short walk away from Owl's Head Park and the pier, so I would definitely recommend grabbing a few banchan to-go if the weather is nice! PS- A staff member kindly let me know that all the kimchis are nut-free and that if you bring the glass jar back, you get $1 off your next purchase.

OK this isn't a review about the store as a whole but really a product that I recently discovered…read morethrough a friend. Homemade squid jerky. She first let me have a sample from a zip locked sandwich bag. Popped it open one bored day at work and it was instant crack in a bag. Could not stop. Sweet and slightly salty at the same time the jerky wasn't even hard at all like most jerky. WHERE DO YOU GET THIS?, I yelped!! So I knew I had to take a trip this past Saturday. The store generally has a lot of preserved stuff in jars and whatnot, some peanuts also - really old school Chinatown. As we walked the back where a majority of the jars were (she mentioned it's fresh - by the pound), I was starting to get antsy... where. is. it. Tease me woman, and I'll murder you. We finally made it near the register and lo and behold, the yumminess that's all warm and fuzzy for just - get this - $8 a pound!! That's unheard of. Two pounds please!! =D Some for my mom and some for a noobie Yelper in CA who's deprived of awesome Asian snacks all her life. Obviously the lady knew and suddenly broke my heart before it started to grow, "There is no more after this batch". O_O I didn't inquire if they made the stuff themselves or was it a vendor who sells it to them, but I sincerely hope that whoever created this concoction they should def know that it's a great hit.
